Following his expiring contract with Al-Shamal, Olwan moved abroad to Malaysia and joined Malaysia Super League club Selangor on 5 August 2024.[7] On 14 September, Olwan scored on his debut for the club in a 4–0 league win over Kuching City.[8] During the 2024–25 AFC Champions League Two fixture against Korean giants Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors on 23 October 2024, Olwan goes on to secured a 2–1 win for Selangor.

International career

In January 2024, Olwan was named in Jordan's squad for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup that reached the final.[10] He started in all three group stage games and then in two knockout stage games against Iraq and Tajikistan, before missing out the semi-finals due to yellow card accumulation.[11] Despite having no goals during the competition, Olwan's ability to hold the ball and dribble in tight spaces made him a threat to the opponent's defense, liberating spaces for his teammates to score.[12]
